Slogan
Dear all,
I have a slogan here that needs to be translated into Chinese: "Funny Works Worldwide". This slogan is for an advertising company, and it is trying to convey the idea that a "funny" advertisement will work worldwide.
The current Chinese version I have right now is: 幽默运转全世界. Is this appropriate? Any other suggestions with a more better punch?
P.S. Personally I find the tricky part lies in the word "works".

Of course, you can omit the last part of my suggestion.
You see, it is not always humorous to be funny.

其实，我对广告之道的看法，用比较白话的对子来说，就是：
左联：有趣行遍天下
右联：无聊寸步难移
横批：开心至上

Luigi Denza 歌剧里有一首曲子 \"Funiculi, Funicula!\"，曲调和歌词值得做广告的人参考。
